Dan Gilbert (HOST)
A well-intentioned but often neurotic 33 year old, Dan Gilbert has quickly made a name for himself in the New England comedy scene. His lethargic style casually tiptoes the offensive, with a wit that's sure to disarm. From the small town of Claremont, NH, Dan brings an obscure view of the world that surrounds him. Dan has performed at Laugh Boston and Vermont Comedy Festival, opening for national acts Dan Soder and Myq Kaplan.

Josh has produced/hosted one of NH’s longest running continuous comedy shows the “Stone Church Comedy Series” at the Stone Church Meeting House in Newmarket, NH. Also, currently produces/hosts Word Barn Comedy Series in Exeter NH, Cisco Brewers Comedy Series in Portsmouth NH, SNHU Comedy Night in Manchester NH and The MiddleEast in Cambridge MA.
